Exams
International, Local Board, and Specialty Exams are offered quarterly (four times a year). You can take the International and Local exams in one window or you can split them between different windows.
Exams are now available to be taken by section!
The International and Local Board exams are organized into sections, Crop Management, Nutrient Management, Soil and Water Management and Pest Management. Section testing offers a flexible way to tackle the ICCA and Local Board exams by allowing candidates to take each of the four sections separately, rather than all at once. You can choose to complete the sections in any order and at your own pace within a five-year timeframe. More information about section testing is available on the Exam FAQ page.
Exam registration will open January 2, 2025 for available exam dates of February 5 - 19, 2025.
